"Western Moonrise"

"Western Moonrise"

by

Jack Providenti

11 x 14 inches

oil on board

The prairies and mountains of New Mexico recently set the stage for this enchanting mood. I can imagine a few cowboys sitting around their campfire after the doggies retire and singing about "Moonlight Ladies". For this painting I applied a few thin layers with lots of medium in order to get that soft, rosy blue glow behind the prairie.

I paint to celebrate nature and to honor people who are celebrating life.

I paint to celebrate nature and to honor people who are celebrating life. Art, wether it is practiced or purchased, will heal & inspire, it will reveal the extraordinary in what previously seemed ordinary. It also helps us re-experience precious moments. I'm using the skills I've learned in order to inspire an emotional response. I emphasize the play of natural light In my paintings and use color generously combined with brush strokes that capture fleeting and treasured moments. I love to paint outdoors as well as in my studio. Being actively immersed in nature contributes to a soulful expression of her many moods. My seascapes and portraits have been hailed by patrons as stunning, vivid and emotionally stirring.
